Three topics today: first, a clear, unambiguous statement (again) that I do not, and never have, held to any form of EFS/ERAS theology, and if anyone tells you otherwise, they don’t know what they are talking about. Second, is it “every Scripture is God-breathed” or “every God-breathed Scripture is profitable”? And why does it matter? And third, are present tense finite verbs in Romans 8:28 and Ephesians 1:11 opposed to Reformed theology? Get a deep seat!

A Jumbo Road Trip DL!
James White, July 17, 2023July 17, 2023, Debate, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Personal, Reformed Apologetics, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line, Unitarianism Started off today’s program talking about upcoming debates. Unfortunately, during the program itself, Chris Arnzen got word that Dr. Brownson will not be pursuing the debate on the 16th of September. However, we have another opponent lined up and will be able to give you information on that in a few days.Spent a while responding to portions of a Trent Horn video on θεόπνευστος and elements of the common Catholic Answers approach to denying sola scriptura. Then we moved to a number of tweets by Unitarians, finishing up looking at John’s use of ἐγώ εἰμι. Right at ninety minutes today! Enjoy!

James White, January 11, 2022January 11, 2022, Exegesis, Gospel/Jesus Studies, Molinism, Pastoral Theology, Pauline Studies, Persecution, Post-Evangelicalism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters Did the program on Odysee today so I could talk freely about all the developments over the past week or so regarding vaccine mandates and the admission on the part of so many that pretty much everything we were saying in the middle of 2020 onward was, in fact, correct, despite the charges of “conspiracy theories” and the like. Then we transitioned over to the “big board” to look at two texts, 1 Corinthians 10:13 (is it a proof text for libertarian free will?) and John 12:32 (does it say that all humans, universally, and individually, are drawn to Jesus by the cross?).
